Temperature mapping is a key asset in supporting the clinician during thermal ablation (TA) treatment of tumors without adding additional risk to the TA procedure. Herein we report our experiments on multidimensional thermal mapping during radio frequency (RF) thermal ablation treatments of an animal organ. The temperature was monitored using several arrays of fiber Bragg gratings properly positioned around the RF applicator. The results show the effectiveness of our proposed method at assessing the TA probe depth and demonstrating how the insertion depth directly influences the maximum temperature and the treated area of the radio frequency ablation.
温度映射是在肿瘤热消融（TA）治疗过程中支持临床医生的一项关键资产，且不会给TA手术增加额外风险。在此，我们报告了在动物器官的射频（RF）热消融治疗期间进行多维热映射的实验。使用围绕RF施加器正确定位的多个光纤布拉格光栅阵列来监测温度。结果表明了我们提出的方法在评估TA探头深度以及展示插入深度如何直接影响射频消融的最高温度和治疗区域方面的有效性。
